The Elixir ecosystem is growing incredibly well. I am impressed both from an engineering and a product perspective. It shows that they are playing the long game. I think they are achieving what I wished happen to the Clojure ecosystem: productive, well designed, respected and popular. Clojure missed the last step, unfortunately.

#22This is awesome! Starting it up from the terminal and going to the url was not super convenient for quick tasks and scripts, this is much better. Edit: one thing that would make it even nicer is if it would remember the folder and/or recently opened notebooks.

The window it runs in.
Is this required in some OS and not another? A comment in this thread claims it just uses a browser tab.

#27How many layers can we do!! I’m guessing elixir to JavaScript to v8 or whatever the js vm was called in chrome. Then jit then binary. Communicating over a network or one of those chrome sockets to an elixir or erlang vm so someone else can manage your data. Life is good

#28No Linux download :-( Nevertheless it's fairly easy to install[1]. If you have docker, you can just run the image to try it out: docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 8081:8081 --pull always livebook/livebook You may want to configure some things, so check out the options[2].: If you want a "native" install, after you have elixir installed you can use mix escript.install hex livebook and start it with livebook server Check out…
They discussed it, but no one has taken it on yet. I think Wojtek Mach(the desktop initial author) is a mac user, and they actively wanted to provide a way for windows users to easily try it.
